OK, first version is released. I won't use this forum to post any further updates about my project (will keep bugging you for help probably ), but I just want to let any people that might have been tracking this project know that it is out there now.

The screen shot shows three of the plugin's features: * Now playing command to inform IRC channel. * Statusbar with dynamically updated song information. * Ability to control AMIP-compatible media player from Irssi command-line.
